Art Exhibit and Benefit

December 12, 2015 4-7pm

One of my favorite galleries in Minneapolis has a collection of my star paintings on display for the holidays. “Dialogue with the Stars” includes recent paintings and will be showing in Regla De Oro Gallery from November 16, 2015 – January 3, 2016.

If you need to do some Christmas shopping, Regla De Oro has a fantastic selection of Fair Trade Gifts and local wares.

During the exhibit reception on December 12, 2015, from 4-7pm, 10% of all purchases will benefit ArtStart, an award winning non-profit providing art education in the metro.

Imagine people from different cultures and backgrounds writing love across the globe. If we were to capture those moments we would have an incredibly rich and diverse photo collage of distant lands and languages. Two years ago a friend overseas shared this great art idea and I wanted to see it take off. With hours of planning and Skype discussions we are finally releasing the project to the public. Officially we are beginning to gather photos for the Love in Every Language Project.

The challenge is simple, write out love with water and take a photo of it. Then upload your photos and spread the word near and far. To upload your photo and read more click here. Below are some shots I took from a summer day in Minneapolis, MN.

Freedom Prints are in the spotlight during the Social Justice Arts Festival on Saturday October 3, 2015. Come stop by the table to see new 2015 prints and purchase framed originals. As always 10% of profits will benefit organizations that seek to end modern day slavery.

Today is the official lunch of the 2015 Made Here project. Combining local artists with vacant Minneapolis storefronts, spaces were transformed into creative exhibits. Among the 30 spaces, I was able to add some of my stars into the mix and take over one of the showcase locations. Gravity of Stars is a piece that was created based on the textural work that I build into my star paintings. As an installation, I was able to explore how art interacts with the environment.

This summer I am beginning to offer 4 week and 8 week one-on-one art sessions. These creative classes focus on custom themes and techniques. Maybe you desire to set specific goals for working on art, would like to build your skills, or want to explore your individual creativity. Perhaps you have an idea that you have been thinking about but don’t know where to begin.

These classes are designed to help motivate and enhance your creative journey, no matter where you are at. The best part is, the art studio comes right to you! There are only a few spots open per month so sign up soon.
